Aviv Eyal updated HIVE-198:
---------------------------
Labels: parse (was: )
Release Note: Improved parse error messages
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
I've modified the message to include the actual token it fails on (When
available).
It should make it easier to grok the actual problem from the error.
> Parse errors report incorrectly.
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-198
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-198
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Query Processor
> Reporter: S. Alex Smith
> Labels: parse
>
> The following two queries fail:
> CREATE TABLE output_table(userid, bigint);
> CREATE TABLE output_table(userid bigint, age int, sex string, location
> string);
> each giving the error message "FAILED: Parse Error: line 1:16 mismatched
> input 'TABLE' expecting KW_TEMPORARY"
> Although one might not catch it from the error message, the problem with the
> first is that there is a comma between "userid" and "bigint", and the problem
> with the second is that "location" is a reserved keyword. Reported errors
> should more accurately describe the nature of the error, such as "no type
> given for column 'userid'" or "'location' is not a valid column name".
